Ebola in Ituri: Deaths Decrease in Rwampara, but Community Reluctance Persists in Bunia

Deaths related to Ebola have decreased in the Rwampara health zone, with only two deaths reported last week compared to about ten at the outbreak's peak. This decline is attributed to local community involvement and the practice of safe burials. However, reluctance persists in Bunia, particularly in the Dele neighborhood, hindering full control of the contagion. Dr. Patrick Basara Mugisa warns of the risk of resurgence if suspected cases are not reported.
